Kalkeriet Contemporary is honored to showcase the Ziggurat table lamp, an iconic creation by renowned designer Shigeaki Asahara for the esteemed Italian brand Codiceicona. With its striking simplicity and refined elegance, the Ziggurat lamp epitomizes Asahara’s unwavering commitment to timeless design. Free from the constraints of fleeting trends, this lamp is a testament to a rigorous exploration of materials and techniques that enhance the purity and essence of the design. Asahara’s approach remains as consistent and dedicated today as it has been throughout his illustrious career.

In 2019, Codiceicona reissued the Ziggurat lamp, originally designed in 1981, alongside the Palomar lamp from 1984. These reissues stand as quintessential examples of Asahara’s distinct design language, reflecting his unique ability to create objects that transcend time, offering both functionality and enduring beauty. That same year, in collaboration with Asahara, Codiceicona introduced a smaller-scale version of the Ziggurat lamp and the Misura table lamp, further solidifying Asahara’s legacy as a master of enduring design.
